Diaz, H.M., Serna, J., Nieto, J. and Guedes Soares, C. (2022), “Market needs, opportunities and barriers for the floating wind industry”, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Vol. 10, 934.

This paper reviews the status of floating wind energy expansion, market needs, opportunities and barriers. Even more expensive than many other generation technologies currently, the floating wind will contribute to the decarbonization of European power systems. This document assesses the adequacy of market strategies available to private actors developing floating wind farms in Europe. The study includes four main phases in addition to the overview of the current state-of-the-art: a technology review, market outlook, opportunities, and commercialization barriers. During its development and diffusion, the offshore wind moved from experimentation to a final design (Semisubmersible/barge, Tension Leg Platform and Spar).
